So, it occurred to me while I was in Battle.net the the Orc and Human facing each other on the BFA poster are positioned as the two continents in which the two factions reside. Horde on the left and Alliance on the right. And it makes sense, but why is it that on the character creation screen when you have to choose a race from a faction, the Alliance is on the left and Horde on the right? It may seem silly to most of you, I was just curious if someone else has noticed it.
no idea realy, perhaps when they started to create the races, they made humans first and that for alliance is on left side.

I think itâs more balanced than if it would be vertical, where one faction would be at the top and the other at the bottom. Look, everything needs place. You canât just put both factions on the same place without that somebody would be confused.
Because itâs Alliance and Horde. Alliance is said first because of itâs alphabetical start.
The is the most likely of reasons.

Itâs horde bias of course.
The right is considered to be better than the left.
In fact left handed people were, for most of history, considered to be evil by nature and discriminated against.
Even in language the right side (latin dextra) developed into the word dexterity, while the left (sinistra) developed into sinister meaning evil / suspicious in many languages influenced by latin.
ps. not sure if anyone could taky my post serously, but just to be secure: this was sarcasm.

The side that represent the forces of âgoodâ, with us humans, is mentioned first and since we read / look from left to right the Alliance is on the left.
Because Alliance is meant to represent Left wing in politics while Horde right wing. 
Clearly, itâs the devs way to say that going Horde is the right way.
The Alliance just happens to be whatâs left.

Thatâs why the path of glory happened.
So you think itâs the Draeneiâs own fault after all. I knew it!

We need Superman, now more than ever.
I did not know they had made an animated version of the Graphic novel (Though I can see it has been heavily Americanised, Superman did not kill Stalin in the graphic novel).
It was actually a very interesting read, the original, and I think where they got it from was the basic premise that one of Supermanâs epithets was âthe Man of Steelâ which in Russian translates as âStalinâ, as everyone knows, the Soviets were big on giving themselves âfalseâ names, âLeninâ was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, âTrotskyâ was Lev Davidovich Bronstein, and âStalinâ was Josef Vissarionovich Dzugashvili. So the Man of Steel working with a person who called himself âThe Man of Steelâ was a really interesting story motif, especially when you had a Soviet version of Batman, The Green Lantern reinvented as the patron of the US Marines, and Lex Luthor as the President of the United States of America, Kind of turned it all on its head, Superman was -not- a morally idealistic person in the novel, he was a -Soviet- idealistic person.
I mean, in the Graphic novel, the Soviets -won- the Cold War, because they had Superman on side, how could they not?
It all went a bit weird towards the end, but yeah, Superman made sure the Soviet ideals were enforced on the rest of the world, and that Lex Luthorâs ideals of Capitalism were kind of smashed down.
He never -liked- Stalin, but he did feel like he -owed- him.
It was a really interesting graphic novel as to how different popular culture would see Superman if that pod had landed in the Ukraine, and not Kansas.
